Cellular Authentication for Mobile and Internet Services

CellularAuthentication for Mobile and Internet Services introduces thereader into the field of secure communication for mobileapplications, including secure web browsing with a phone or PC,Single Sign-On (SSO), mobile broadcast content protection, securelocation services, etc.  The book discusses the GenericAuthentication Architecture (GAA) of the mobile standardization body3^rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and itsAmerican counterpart 3GPP2 in full detail and with all variants. Itexplains the usage of GAA by various standardization bodies andstandardized applications, and also looks at a number ofnon-standardized ones, such as secure remote login to enterpriseenvironment and card personalization. 

 CellularAuthentication for Mobile and Internet Services:

• Describes the usage of the generic authentication architecture (GAA) by various standardization bodies and standardized applications, covering mobile broadcast / multicast service security, Single Sign-On, HTTPS (i.e. secure web browsing), secure data access, secure location services, etc

• Provides guidance on how to integrate the generic authentication into existing and future terminals, networks and applications

• Explains the functionality of the application security in general as well as on application developer level

• Describes various business scenarios and related security solutions, and covers secure application implementation and integration

• Brings together essential information (currently scattered across different standardization bodies) on standards in one comprehensive volume

Thisexcellent all-in-one reference will provide system and protocoldesigners, application developers, senior software project managers,telecommunication managers and ISP managers with a sound introductioninto the field of secure communication for mobile applications.System integrators, advanced students, Ph.D. candidates, andprofessors of computer science or telecommunications will also findthis text very useful.
